Detailed description

Designed for underwater protection, the Garmin dive case ensures the integrity of your inReach Mini 3 and inReach Mini 3 Plus satellite communicators. This case is specifically engineered to secure your device during dives, making it ready for use at the surface for two-way communication, GPS positioning, and SOS functions.

Protection and Waterproofing

The case is made from rigid, impact-resistant plastic, providing protection against water, pressure, and underwater impacts. It can protect inReach Mini devices down to a depth of 10 ATM, or 100 meters (330 feet). The closure system features a double locking mechanism with two O-rings, ensuring complete waterproofing against any water intrusion. Its dimensions are approximately 10.9 x 8.9 x 4.91 cm (4.3 x 3.5 x 1.93 inches).

Features and Maintenance

While GPS tracking and satellite communication are not operational underwater, the case ensures the inReach Mini is protected during the dive and fully functional as soon as it reaches the surface. A robust eyelet allows the case to be attached to dive gear via a clip or lanyard. The design facilitates easy insertion and removal of the inReach Mini. To maintain waterproofing, it is recommended to rinse the case and seals with fresh water after each dive and to check for debris on the seals and their grooves before each use. If the device is paired with a compatible Garmin Descent or fēnix® 8 watch, the inReach Remote widget allows sending messages or SOS without opening the dive case.

Expert opinion

« Essential protection for inReach Mini when diving »

This Garmin dive case is an essential accessory for users of the inReach Mini 3 and inReach Mini 3 Plus models who engage in scuba diving. It is not merely a protective case, but a technical solution designed to extend the ruggedness of your satellite communicator well beyond its initial rating. The primary use case lies in the ability to carry a reliable emergency communication device safely during a dive, ensuring the unit is immediately operational for two-way messaging and SOS functions upon surfacing.

Installing the inReach Mini into the case is straightforward, featuring dual locking latches and dual O-rings that require a simple visual check before each dive. It is critical to follow maintenance recommendations, including freshwater rinsing and lubrication of the O-rings, to preserve the integrity of the seal. Technical limitations include the inability to transmit or acquire GPS signals underwater, and the case does not float. It must therefore be securely attached to diving gear via the integrated eyelet.

This case stands out for its compatibility with the inReach Mini 3 and inReach Mini 3 Plus models and its ability to integrate into a Garmin ecosystem via the inReach Remote widget, enabling limited interaction without opening the case. It is a relevant choice for any diver seeking an additional safety layer for their inReach Mini, transforming a land-based communication device into a resilient dive companion.

What is the Garmin dive housing used for?

This housing is designed to protect your inReach Mini 3 and inReach Mini 3 Plus satellite communicators during underwater immersions. It maintains the integrity of your device, making it ready for use as soon as it surfaces for two-way communication, GPS positioning, and SOS functions.

Which Garmin devices is this dive case compatible with?

The Garmin dive case is specifically designed to be compatible with the inReach Mini 3 and inReach Mini 3 Plus satellite communicators.

What material is the Garmin dive housing made of?

The housing is made of rigid, impact-resistant plastic, providing robust protection for your device underwater.

Does the Garmin dive housing float on the surface of the water?

No, once the device is inside the housing, it does not float. It is important to take the necessary precautions to avoid losing it underwater.

Is it possible to transmit messages or data with the inReach Mini 3 device when it is inside the waterproof case?

No, the device cannot transmit underwater, even when in the dive housing. Communication is only possible once the device is at the surface.

How should I maintain the sealing gaskets of the Garmin dive housing?

For joint maintenance, follow these steps:

After each dive, rinse the housing and seals with fresh water.Before each use, inspect the seals and their grooves to ensure they are free of dirt and properly lubricated.If necessary, remove the seals, rinse them with fresh water, and let them air-dry.Apply a layer of lubricating grease to the seals.Reinstall the seals in the housing, ensuring they are correctly seated in the grooves.

How often should the dive housing seals be inspected?

Inspect the seals before each dive to ensure the housing opens and closes easily, is free of debris, and is properly lubricated.

What should I do if I find debris on the seals or in their grooves?

If you find debris, it is crucial to remove it. Even a tiny residue can prevent the seals from seating properly and compromise the system's watertight integrity. Rinse the seals with fresh water and ensure they are clean before lubricating and reinstalling them.

Which type of lubricant is recommended for dive housing seals?

It is recommended to apply a layer of lubricating grease on the seals to maintain their effectiveness and the watertight integrity of the housing.

Where can I buy spare parts for the dive housing, such as seals?

You can purchase the necessary spare parts, including seals, on Garmin's website at buy.garmin.com. It is important to use only the spare parts designed for this purpose.

Does the dive housing protect only against water or also against impacts?

Yes, in addition to underwater protection, the housing is made of rigid shock-resistant plastic, providing extra protection against physical impacts for your inReach Mini 3 or Mini 3 Plus device.

Is this housing a mandatory accessory for using the inReach Mini 3 when diving?

The housing is specifically designed to secure your device during immersions and maintain its integrity underwater. It is highly recommended for any underwater use to protect the device and ensure its operation at the surface.

Can I use this unit with an inReach Mini of an earlier generation (e.g., inReach Mini 2)?

The housing is specifically designed for the inReach Mini 3 and inReach Mini 3 Plus satellite communicators. Compatibility with other inReach Mini models is not specified, so it should be used only with the designated models.

How to ensure seals are correctly installed after maintenance?

After applying the lubricating grease, reinstall the seals in the housing and ensure they are properly seated and firmly seated in the designated grooves. Correct installation is essential to ensure waterproofing.

Why is it important to rinse the housing and seals with fresh water after each dive?

Rinsing with fresh water after each dive is critical to remove salt, sand or other residues that could build up and potentially damage seals or compromise the housing’s watertight integrity during future use.

Is the dive case supplied with the inReach Mini 3 or must it be purchased separately?

The Garmin dive case is a separately sold accessory, as indicated by its distinct designation and SKU. It is not included with the inReach Mini 3 or inReach Mini 3 Plus satellite communicators.

Is this unit compatible with other satellite communication brands?

No, this housing is specifically designed by Garmin for its inReach Mini 3 and inReach Mini 3 Plus satellite communicators. Compatibility with other brands or models is not guaranteed.

What are the consequences of poor maintenance of seals on the watertightness of the housing?

Poor maintenance, such as debris buildup or insufficient lubrication, can reduce seal efficiency and compromise the system's watertight integrity. This could lead to water ingress and damage the inReach Mini device internally.

How to check that the housing is properly closed and watertight before diving?

Before each dive, in addition to inspecting the seals, ensure that the housing opens and closes easily and that all latches or locking mechanisms are properly engaged. Smooth and secure closure is a good indicator of the housing's integrity.
